7-Eleven closing 400 stores - Cafe Society - Straight Dope
Oct 13, 2024 · 7-Eleven has been my favorite location for snacks and drinks since childhood. They used to sell ICEE.

How do I get my cat to keep taking his medicine? - Straight Dope
Nov 5, 2024 · Thankfully I don’t need answer fast. Back in May my 12 year old cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (not an uncommon condition in senior cats from what I understand).

No, really, it's not just about the cat - Straight Dope

Phantom cats, a common hallucination? - Straight Dope
May 14, 2001 · I’ve talked to several other people who’ve had this happen to them before: you’ll be lying in bed, almost asleep when a cat will jump lightly onto the bed.

I assume that the feeling of the cat roaming over the bed is a hallucination during …

Nov 19, 2024 · Doc said I’m looking good. He calculated that I have a 5.4% chance of keeling over with a heart attack in the next 5 years.

My dishwasher is a cat magnet. - Straight Dope
Nov 15, 2006 · Can someone explain to me why my cat is suddenly enthralled by the dishwasher? For the past three nights, I’ve found him in the kitchen, staring at the dishwasher, fascinated.
